I mean it could be multiple things. Just looking at your post bit: Pokemon (your avatar), Transformers (your flair), Radiant Historia (the only picture I recognize in your signature) or any of the other signature pictures. :P

Just the fact that someone else on this site recognizes Radiant Historia thrills me to no end lol. But in this case I was talking about Transformers Armada. :p

Imagining and attaching with characters, be it in game or cartoon is not something which I want to do.

They just give false sense of satisfaction and peace in the mind for the few moments until we are snapped back in to reality.

All(Many) cartoons/games are based on fantasy world, and that term itself is self explanatory that it has no connection with real life.

Getting lost in the world of fantasy in mind and feeling happy, and then facing the harsh reality will/can make us sad......




....Many times I think that life is not as harsh as it seems. We ourselves see the bad Outlook of it because of comparing it with the fake life of games and anime, and feeling bad if those kind of things are not there. No doubt that there are bad people around us as well, but that doesn't means life is harsh.

I guess life is harsh in the sense that we get output according to our input and have no chance to retake the attempt.

Thinking all good in mind doesn't makes our consequences good; we need to make that happen.


Luckily the fun fact is that the game developers and anime makers had not found about me, hence no character can imitate about my personality concretely !!


We ourselves try to nullify our uniqueness by relating us with fake characters....

Relating myself with characters that are quite similar to me help me feel not alone on my personality, Heck Pit makes me less sad about my less than average thinking skills lol.

I've played both the original and the 3DS remake to 100% completion. Funnily enough, the original didn't get released in my country (we had to import it). When it came out back then I just accidentally stumbled on it on Youtube during my "Watching Let's Play" phase. Up to this point it's the only game that actually made me stop watching a Let's Play and instead play it myself. ^^"

Okay, I love to hear that because the game is incredible!

I remember that there was a game called Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow for GBA, and if I am correct then the character was Soma Cruz. I found that game hard, because I was kid back then, and had never played anything like that !!

There's also a sequel called "Dawn of Sorrow". It's fun. It has its downsides, though. Like the artstyle is anime instead of the more gothic looks of AoS. And of course everybody hates the seal drawing they made you do because Nintendo required every DS game back then to do something with the touch screen.

It was the first Metroidvania-style Castlevania I played.

In the defense of video games, they don't have characters sweating buckets like they do in many cartoons: or heaven forbid, in anime, where the overused visual shorthand is played to the hilt in 90% of everything. It's safe to say that I really don't like anime or its paperback cousin for marking those little 'u' or 'j''s like it's tattooed on their faces, as I really don't like the feel of sweat in general.
Okay, somebody can shut me up now.

I remember that Candy Crush hit the world by storm when smartphones were on the boom. Almost all phones back then were coming with Candy Crush pre-installed. Even my father used to play that game for hours !!

I do play couple of simple mobile games, and third one being Pokemon GO!

I've occasionally picked up Fire Emblem Heroes. But I never stuck with it for long.

I also played it for few months last year, but gave it up eventually because it felt that the characters which we got early on are not aging very rapidly. Plus I also felt that Cavalry and Fliers were made insanely powerful, and they were capable of moving massive distance and also retreat back the massive distance.....

I liked Armored and Infantry there, but they felt too weak by the time when I left.

And not to forget that the gambling there was very expensive. If it wouldn't have been gacha game, then I might have grinded.
